GFile is a high level abstraction for manipulating files on a
virtual file system. GFiles are lightweight, immutable
objects that do no I/O upon creation. It is necessary to understand that
GFile objects do not represent files, merely an identifier for a file. All
file content I/O is implemented as streaming operations (see GInputStream and
GOutputStream).
g_file_new_for_path() if you have a path.
g_file_new_for_uri() if you have a URI.
g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() for a command line argument.
g_file_parse_name() from a utf8 string gotten from g_file_get_parse_name().
One way to think of a GFile is as an abstraction of a pathname. For normal
files the system pathname is what is stored internally, but as GFiles
are extensible it could also be something else that corresponds to a pathname
in a userspace implementation of a filesystem.
GFiles make up hierarchies of directories and files that correspond to the
files on a filesystem. You can move through the file system with GFile using
g_file_get_parent() to get an identifier for the parent directory, g_file_get_child()
to get a child within a directory, g_file_resolve_relative_path() to resolve a relative
path between two GFiles. There can be multiple hierarchies, so you may not
end up at the same root if you repeatedly call g_file_get_parent() on two different
files.
All GFiles have a basename (get with g_file_get_basename()). These names
are byte strings that are used to identify the file on the filesystem (relative to
its parent directory) and there is no guarantees that they have any particular charset
encoding or even make any sense at all. If you want to use filenames in a user
interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME attribute with g_file_query_info().
This is guaranteed to be in utf8 and can be used in a user interface. But always
store the real basename or the GFile to use to actually access the file, because
there is no way to go from a display name to the actual name.
Using GFile as an identifier has the same weaknesses as using a path in that
there may be multiple aliases for the same file. For instance, hard or
soft links may cause two different GFiles to refer to the same file.
and long names on Fat/NTFS, or bind mounts in Linux. If you want to check if
two GFiles point to the same file you can query for the
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ID_FILE attribute. Note that GFile does some trivial
canonicalization of pathnames passed in, so that trivial differences in the
path string used at creation (duplicated slashes, slash at end of path, "."
or ".." path segments, etc) does not create different GFiles.
Many GFile operations have both synchronous and asynchronous versions
to suit your application. Asynchronous versions of synchronous functions
simply have _async() appended to their function names. The asynchronous
I/O functions call a GAsyncReadyCallback which is then used to finalize
the operation, producing a GAsyncResult which is then passed to the
function's matching _finish() operation.
Some GFile operations do not have synchronous analogs, as they may
take a very long time to finish, and blocking may leave an application
unusable. Notable cases include:
g_file_mount_mountable() to mount a mountable file.
g_file_unmount_mountable_with_operation() to unmount a mountable file.
g_file_eject_mountable_with_operation() to eject a mountable file.
entity tag
One notable feature of GFiles are entity tags, or "etags" for
short. Entity tags are somewhat like a more abstract version of the
traditional mtime, and can be used to quickly determine if the file has
been modified from the version on the file system. See the HTTP 1.1
specification
for HTTP Etag headers, which are a very similar concept.

To construct a gfile, you can use:

Properties
None

Methods / Constructors
Method / Constructor		Defined By
	append_to (FileCreateFlags *flags, Cancellable cancellable) : Gio.FileOutputStream Gets an output stream for appending data to the file. Gets an output stream for appending data to the file. If the file doesn't already exist it is created. By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass G_FILE_CREATE_PRIVATE* in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem. If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_FILENAME error. If the file is a directory the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Free the returned object with g_object_unref(). Parameters: Gio.FileCreateFlags flags Required (not null) a set of GFileCreateFlags. Gio.Cancellable cancellable optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. Returns: Gio.FileOutputStream a GFileOutputStream, or NULL on error.	Gio.File
	append_to_async (FileCreateFlags *flags, gint32 io_priority, Cancellable cancellable, Function callback, void *user_data) : none Asynchronously opens file* for appending. Asynchronously opens file for appending. For more details, see g_file_append_to() which is the synchronous version of this call. When the operation is finished, callback will be called. You can then call g_file_append_to_finish() to get the result of the operation. Parameters: Gio.FileCreateFlags flags Required (not null) a set of GFileCreateFlags. gint32 io_priority Required (not null) the I/O priority of the request. Gio.Cancellable cancellable optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. Function (Object *source_object, AsyncResult res, void *user_data) : none Required (not null) a GAsyncReadyCallback* to call when the request is satisfied void* user_data Required (not null) the data to pass to callback function Returns: none	Gio.File
	append_to_finish (AsyncResult *res) : Gio.FileOutputStream Finishes an asynchronous file append operation started with g_file_append_to_async(). Finishes an asynchronous file append operation started with g_file_append_to_async(). Free the returned object with g_object_unref(). Parameters: Gio.AsyncResult res* Required (not null) GAsyncResult Returns: Gio.FileOutputStream a valid GFileOutputStream or NULL on error.	Gio.File
	copy (File *destination, FileCopyFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable, Function progress_callback, void *progress_callback_data) : gboolean Copies the file source* to the location specified by destination. Copies the file source to the location specified by destination. Can not handle recursive copies of directories. If the flag G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is specified an already existing destination file is overwritten. If the flag G_FILE_COPY_NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If progress_callback is not NULL, then the operation can be monitored by setting this to a GFileProgressCallback function. progress_callback_data will be passed to this function. It is guaranteed that this callback will be called after all data has been transferred with the total number of bytes copied during the operation. If the source file does not exist then the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error is returned, independent on the status of the destination. If G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is not specified and the target exists, then the error G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS is returned. If trying to overwrite a file over a directory the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_MERGE error is returned. If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is specified and the target is a file, then the G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_RECURSE error is returned. If you are interested in copying the GFile object itself (not the on-disk file), see g_file_dup(). Parameters: Gio.File destination Required (not null) destination GFile Gio.FileCopyFlags flags Required (not null) set of GFileCopyFlags Gio.Cancellable cancellable optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore.

	copy_attributes (File *destination, FileCopyFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable) : gboolean Copies the file attributes from source* to destination. Copies the file attributes from source to destination. Normally only a subset of the file attributes are copied, those that are copies in a normal file copy operation (which for instance does not include e.g. owner). However if G_FILE_COPY_ALL_METADATA is specified in flags, then all the metadata that is possible to copy is copied. This is useful when implementing move by copy + delete source.

By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass G_FILE_CREATE_PRIVATE* in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem. If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If a file or directory with this name already exists the G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_FILENAME error, and if the name is to long G_IO_ERROR_FILENAME_TOO_LONG will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. NULL on error. Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

Returns: Gio.FileOutputStream a GFileOutputStream or NULL on error.	Gio.File
	create_readwrite (FileCreateFlags *flags, Cancellable cancellable) : Gio.FileIOStream Creates a new file and returns a stream for reading and writing to it. Creates a new file and returns a stream for reading and writing to it. The file must not already exist. By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass G_FILE_CREATE_PRIVATE* in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem. If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If a file or directory with this name already exists the G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_FILENAME error, and if the name is too long, G_IO_ERROR_FILENAME_TOO_LONG will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Note that in many non-local file cases read and write streams are not supported, so make sure you really need to do read and write streaming, rather than just opening for reading or writing.

If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root or a uri like sftp://host/) it will return a single directory separator (and on Windows, possibly a drive letter). The base name is a byte string (not UTF-8). It has no defined encoding or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME attribute with g_file_query_info().

If this function fails, it returns NULL and error will be set. This is very useful when constructing a GFile for a new file and the user entered the filename in the user interface, for instance when you select a directory and type a filename in the file selector. This call does no blocking i/o. NULL if the display name couldn't be converted. Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

	get_parse_name () : String Gets the parse name of the file. Gets the parse name of the file. A parse name is a UTF-8 string that describes the file such that one can get the GFile back using g_file_parse_name(). This is generally used to show the GFile as a nice full-pathname kind of string in a user interface, like in a location entry. For local files with names that can safely be converted to UTF8 the pathname is used, otherwise the IRI is used (a form of URI that allows UTF8 characters unescaped). This call does no blocking i/o. string should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed. Returns: String a string containing the GFile's parse name. The returned	Gio.File
	get_path () : String Gets the local pathname for GFile, if one exists. Gets the local pathname for GFile, if one exists. This call does no blocking i/o. no such path exists.

The returned string should be freed with g_free() when no longer needed. Returns: String a string containing the URI scheme for the given	Gio.File
	has_parent (File *parent) : gboolean Checks if file* has a parent, and optionally, if it is parent. Checks if file has a parent, and optionally, if it is parent. If parent is NULL then this function returns TRUE if file has any parent at all. If parent is non-NULL then TRUE is only returned if file is a child of parent. case that parent is NULL). Parameters: Gio.File parent Required (not null) the parent to check for, or NULL Returns: gboolean TRUE if file is a child of parent (or any parent in the	Gio.File
	has_prefix (File *prefix) : gboolean Checks whether file* has the prefix specified by prefix. Checks whether file has the prefix specified by prefix. In other word, if the names of inital elements of files pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched, so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only of /foo/bar. This call does no i/o, as it works purely on names. As such it can sometimes return FALSE even if file is inside a prefix (from a filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file is an alias of prefix. FALSE otherwise. Parameters: Gio.File prefix Required (not null) input GFile. Returns: gboolean TRUE if the files's parent, grandparent, etc is prefix.	Gio.File
	has_uri_scheme (String *uri_scheme) : gboolean Checks to see if a GFile* has a given URI scheme. Checks to see if a GFile has a given URI scheme. This call does no blocking i/o. given URI scheme, FALSE if URI scheme is NULL, not supported, or GFile is invalid. Parameters: String uri_scheme Required (not null) a string containing a URI scheme. Returns: gboolean TRUE if GFile's backend supports the	Gio.File
	icon_new () : Gio.Icon Creates a new icon for a file. Creates a new icon for a file. Returns: Gio.Icon a GIcon for the given file, or NULL on error.	Gio.File
	is_native () : gboolean Checks to see if a file is native to the platform. Checks to see if a file is native to the platform. A native file s one expressed in the platform-native filename format, e.g. "C:\Windows" or "/usr/bin/". This does not mean the file is local, as it might be on a locally mounted remote filesystem. On some systems non-native files may be available using the native filesystem via a userspace filesystem (FUSE), in these cases this call will return FALSE, but g_file_get_path() will still return a native path.

If the flag G_FILE_COPY_NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS is specified then symlinks will be copied as symlinks, otherwise the target of the If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If progress_callback is not NULL, then the operation can be monitored by setting this to a GFileProgressCallback function. progress_callback_data will be passed to this function. It is guaranteed that this callback will be called after all data has been transferred with the total number of bytes copied during the operation. If the source file does not exist then the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error is returned, independent on the status of the destination. If G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is not specified and the target exists, then the error G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS is returned. If trying to overwrite a file over a directory the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY error is returned. If trying to overwrite a directory with a directory the G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_MERGE error is returned. If the source is a directory and the target does not exist, or G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE is specified and the target is a file, then the G_IO_ERROR_WOULD_RECURSE error may be returned (if the native move operation isn't available).

If the file is a directory, the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Note that in many non-local file cases read and write streams are not supported, so make sure you really need to do read and write streaming, rather than just opening for reading or writing. Free the returned object with g_object_unref(). Parameters: Gio.Cancellable cancellable a GCancellable Returns: Gio.FileIOStream GFileIOStream or NULL on error.	Gio.File
	open_readwrite_async (gint32 *io_priority, Cancellable cancellable, Function callback, void *user_data) : none Asynchronously opens file* for reading and writing.

	query_exists (Cancellable *cancellable) : gboolean Utility function to check if a particular file exists. Utility function to check if a particular file exists. This is implemented using g_file_query_info() and as such does blocking I/O. Note that in many cases it is racy to first check for file existence and then execute something based on the outcome of that, because the file might have been created or removed in between the operations. The general approach to handling that is to not check, but just do the operation and handle the errors as they come. As an example of race-free checking, take the case of reading a file, and can both result in two processes creating the file (with perhaps a partially written file as the result). The correct approach is to always try to create the file with g_file_create() which will either atomically create the file or fail with a G_IO_ERROR_EXISTS error. However, in many cases an existence check is useful in a user interface, for instance to make a menu item sensitive/insensitive, so that you don't have to fool users that something is possible and then just show and error dialog. If you do this, you should make sure to also handle the errors that can happen due to races when you execute the operation. Parameters: Gio.Cancellable cancellable* optional GCancellable object, NULL to ignore. Returns: gboolean TRUE if the file exists (and can be detected without error), FALSE otherwise (or if cancelled).	Gio.File
	query_file_type (FileQueryInfoFlags *flags, Cancellable cancellable) : Gio.FileType Utility function to inspect the GFileType* of a file. Utility function to inspect the GFileType of a file.

Similar to g_file_query_info(), but obtains information about the filesystem the file is on, rather than the file itself. For instance the amount of space available and the type of the filesystem. The attributes value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "fs:" means all attributes in the fs namespace. The standard namespace for filesystem attributes is "fs". Common attributes of interest are G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_SIZE (the total size of the filesystem in bytes), G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_FREE (number of bytes available), and G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_TYPE (type of the filesystem). If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If the file does not exist, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Free the returned object with g_object_unref().

Gets the requested information about specified file. The result is a GFileInfo* object that contains key-value attributes (such as the type or size of the file). The attributes value is a string that specifies the file attributes that should be gathered. It is not an error if it's not possible to read a particular requested attribute from a file - it just won't be set. attributes should be a comma-separated list of attributes or attribute wildcards. The wildcard "" means all attributes, and a wildcard like "standard::" means all attributes in the standard namespace. An example attribute query be "standard::,owner::user". The standard attributes are available as defines, like G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_NAME. If cancellable* is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. For symlinks, normally the information about the target of the symlink is returned, rather than information about the symlink itself. However if you pass G_FILE_QUERY_INFO_NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS in flags the information about the symlink itself will be returned. Also, for symlinks that point to non-existing files the information about the symlink itself will be returned. If the file does not exist, the G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned.

Returns the type and full attribute name of all the attributes that can be set on this file. This doesn't mean setting it will always succeed though, you might get an access failure, or some specific file may not support a specific attribute. If cancellable* is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.

	replace (String *etag, gboolean make_backup, FileCreateFlags flags, Cancellable cancellable) : Gio.FileOutputStream Returns an output stream for overwriting the file, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. Returns an output stream for overwriting the file, possibly creating a backup copy of the file first. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. This will try to replace the file in the safest way possible so that any errors during the writing will not affect an already existing copy of the file. For instance, for local files it may write to a temporary file and then atomically rename over the destination when the stream is closed. By default files created are generally readable by everyone, but if you pass G_FILE_CREATE_PRIVATE* in flags the file will be made readable only to the current user, to the level that is supported on the target filesystem. If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If you pass in a non-NULL etag value, then this value is compared to the current entity tag of the file, and if they differ an G_IO_ERROR_WRONG_ETAG error is returned. This generally means that the file has been changed since you last read it. You can get the new etag from g_file_output_stream_get_etag() after you've finished writing and closed the GFileOutputStream. When you load a new file you can use g_file_input_stream_query_info() to get the etag of the file. If make_backup is TRUE, this function will attempt to make a backup of the current file before overwriting it. If this fails a G_IO_ERROR_CANT_CREATE_BACKUP error will be returned. If you want to replace anyway, try again with If the file is a directory the G_IO_ERROR_IS_DIRECTORY error will be returned, and if the file is some other form of non-regular file then a G_IO_ERROR_NOT_REGULAR_FILE error will be returned. Some file systems don't allow all file names, and may return an G_IO_ERROR_INVALID_FILENAME error, and if the name is to long G_IO_ERROR_FILENAME_TOO_LONG will be returned. Other errors are possible too, and depend on what kind of filesystem the file is on. Free the returned object with g_object_unref(). Parameters: String etag an optional entity tag for the current GFile, or NULL to ignore. gboolean make_backup Required (not null) TRUE if a backup should be created.
